Until people change there interest and would rather gain knowledge from the news and face the truth no matter how much it goes against their beliefs instead of inflate their ego with "alternative facts" people won't meet more in the middle. FOX News/radio hosts/blogs etc offered disenfranchised people something real established news outlets couldn't, an alternative fantasy world were the news twists itself to fit a narrative a portion of Americans would like to see rather than the truth. That drives ratings which over time has given these people careers which gives them a sliver of power in the world that they didn't have before. It's entertainment that people are manipulated into believing is news because it caters to them.

You ever wondered why Americans haven't been on the same wavelength for a while now? Probably because a handful of horrible people realized there is a business in fake news and they have no problem warping people's opinions to gain a buck. So now we have 2 versions of America and people can't discuss anything because they feel the other side is out of touch and we can't even decide what the debate should really be about.

No it's coming from the entire left.  It's all they can say.  Fox, Fox, Fox.  And as I said, Fox gets 2.5 million prime time viewers, and they aren't all conservatives.  Donald Trump got over 60 million votes.  

You think there aren't liberal shows, blogs, sites that do the same thing because nobody talks about them, because nobody on the right is obsessed with it enough to mention it.  Do you really believe something like Huffington Post is unbiased?  MSNBC?  Do you think Media Matters is this magnanimous entity just trying to get the truth out?

How about this whole "Fake news". All of a sudden everywhere you look, people are using the term. Where did that come from? Did everyone think up that exact term at the same time.
